Usually iced coffee, coffee/cream/caramel syrup on ice. I drink coffee AM and PM, doesn't matter, In cold weather Mexican coffee, hot black coffee, shot of Kahlua ,whipped cream. When needing a change, usually two fingers of single malt Scotch whisky. Glenmorangie

At 322 grams it is the heaviest Rolex by far. The Platinum Daytona was the heaviest, weighing in at 280 grams. There will definitely be wrist fatigue with a 3/4 pound solid gold watch. My gold Sub is 228 grams.

The case back is titanium not gold. Two completely different metals. Looks much different than a typical PM Rolex. BTW, no human body can dive to 12,800 ft. The watch is just a "flex gimmick".

It is just Deepsea. The sea dweller script is gone from the dial. 44mm case. 18mm case thickness. 322 grams weight. Unless you are big like Dwayne the rock Johnson, this thing will look plain silly strapped to your wrist. It will also scream "rob me!!". My gold Submariner is modest in comparison.

Has anyone seen the newly released YG Deepsea monstrosity? 322 grams of solid 18K gold bliss! For the introductory price of $52,000 USD. Who's lining up to get this one? It might require a bodyguard for your safety.

The BRE17 Connie1 box was sublime. All rolled great, lighter wrappers. Classic Upmann taste. This BRE19 box sucks plain and simple.

The bunching IS the problem, that's why they don't draw. The filler tobacco is too moist, and the roller compresses too much leaf, which ends up with a plugged cigar when complete.

Not me. Perfec Draw maybe works half the time, usually less. Had to toss a BRE19 Connie1, was plugged to no end. No better after using the PD. This is not a storage issue. Simply too much filler when bunching the cigar. Hamlet explains it perfectly in his video. Piss poor construction, period. I have a 2020 box of Sancho Belicosos. Almost half so far have been either plugged or rolled too tight for any decent smoke output. Makes me not miss paying ridiculous prices for Cubans. I have never had a plugged Padron 1964, EVER. And they are now cheaper than Cubans.

Maybe, but they still want the American dollars. When the US stops buying all their "junk", who fills the void? Certainly not Cuba.

I have a Honda Goldwing touring bike. They are very quiet, unless you choose to modify the exhaust system. No motorcycle bans here in Myrtle beach. We have three different bike weeks, and it brings in huge tourism $$$.

This is truth! MRN didn't live long enough to apparently smoke well over a million dollars of cigars he accrued. Why wait people? Tomorrow could be your last day alive above ground, when it's your time to go, you go. Enjoy your cigars today!

Exactly. Borderline famine there. Potatoes are worth more than gold there. Anything edible for that matter.

Congrats! Hans...correct? You likely won't remember me, but we met at a cigar get together at a Buffalo, NY cigar store somewhere between 2007 and 2010. Cannot remember the exact year. You sent your wife shopping while we enjoyed cigars and some food afterwards. Was fun, but the drive for myself back home involved a snow storm.

Stock up now! On the news this morning it was said due to the rainy El Nino season, yields of cocoa beans are extremely low and chocolate prices are up over 100%. As if we didn't need any more "good news" about the things we enjoy skyrocketing in price for whatever reason.
